Light set-up and Photo shoot plan

The light set-up i will use when taking the images I will use on my magazine cover and contents page is the two light set up. The advantages of the two light set up is that it adds more light to the image, and prevents the models face from becoming shadowed on one side of their face. When the light reflects off the the umbrella and down onto the subject, the main light provides some light but the opposite side of the model can become shadowed, so by using another light and umbrella on the opposite side, not only does it brighten the image but it also prevents it becoming shadowed. 

For the image I plan to use on my front cover the set up will be much like the two light set up in my diagram. I will be taking the photograph from directly infront of my model, whose body and shoulders will be at a 45 degree angle to the camera and her face will be turned to face directly into the camera. My model will be using a folder as a prop and will be holding this in her arm. The image will be a medium close up, and by using the rule of thirds I will ensure that her eye line falls on the top third line as this makes the audience feel as though they are on the same level and can relate to the model. 

For my contents page I will be using the same light set up and overall layout, but I will instead take the image as a long shot, with the models entire body in the shot. Also, the models entire body will be faced towards the camera. Again I will be taking the photograph from directly in front of the model, to ensure that she looks on a level with the audience and so that people feel as though the image is more personal.  

I want both of my images to be fairly bright as I want to general atmosphere of both of my images to be fairly positive and everyday, as this is something that students can relate to in their everyday lives.
